Outreach

Student interns

BJGP Open is keen to support the next generation of primary care editors and publishers. We offer students 6–10 week part-time placement at the journal, which may be carried out in person or virtually. This opportunity is open to both UK and international applicants with no fees attached, but places are limited. We encourage students from all background and disciplines who have an interest in publication science or primary care research to get a behind-the-scenes look at our work. They will gain first-hand experience of the publication process from article submission to dissemination. Students will often undertake a research project related to publication science, contribute to peer review, and will have the opportunity to obtain feedback on scientific writing skills.
Our current placements are all carried out virtually with Bachelor of Clinical Science science students from Macquarie University, Australia. Their virtual placements are being supervised by Dr Sarah White from our Editorial Board and the BJGP Open Editor.  Students will learn about different aspects of academic publishing, meet interesting people through engaging with the Editorial Board, and gain project-based experience in primary care research and science communication.

For more information please email the journal office using the subject line ‘Internship enquiry’. Please do not amend this subject line.

Editorial Board Mentoring Programme

As an international primary care journal, we are committed to contributing to the development and dissemination of high quality primary care research from all over the world.  We have recently established an editorial board mentoring programme led by Dr Liz Sturgiss on our Editorial Board. This is only open to researchers from low- and middle-income counties who are keen to publish their work but have limited primary care resources and supervision. Pre-submissions can be sent to the journal and we will arrange one round of feedback on the submission. There is no charge for this service and no guarantee of publication. The Editorial Board members involved in providing feedback will not be involved in the subsequent handling of or decision on the manuscript. All final decisions will be made by the BJGP Open Editor.

Authors are required to email their pre-submissions to the journal office using the subject line ‘EB mentoring programme: pre-submission’. Please do not amend this subject line.
